10/100 Mbps embedded serial device servers
Moxa’s MiiNePort E1 embedded device servers are designed for manufacturers who want to add sophisticated network connectivity to their serial devices with minimal integration effort. The MiiNePort E1 is empowered by the MiiNe, Moxa’s second generation SoC, which supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, up to 921.6 Kbps serial baudrate, a versatile selection of ready-to-use operation modes, and requires only a small amount of power. By using Moxa’s innovative NetEZ technology, the MiiNePort E1 can be used to convert any device with a standard serial interface to an Ethernet enabled device in no time. In addition, the MiiNePort E1 is the size of an RJ45 connector, making it easy to fit into virtually any existing serial device.
The MiiNe—Moxa’s 2nd Generation SoC
The MiiNe was created to provide manufacturers with a competitive embedded serial-to-Ethernet solution. The MiiNePort E1, which uses the MiiNe for its SoC, is one of the world’s tiniest embedded device servers, and has the lowest power consumption of any similar product. The MiiNe has the following features:
1. Designed for 1 or 2-port serial-to-Ethernet applications
2. Uses a 32-bit ARM 7 core
3. Uses Moxa’s own advanced UART technology
4. Has 2 MB Flash and 4 MB SDRAM memory built in
NetEZ Technology
Moxa’s NetEZ technology gives serial device manufacturers a range of powerful tools for integrating Ethernet capability into serial devices:
EXTrigger : Want to troubleshoot your network with ease? Use the MiiNePort’s EXTrigger button to reset network settings with just one push.
SCM : Need an easy tool to configure the network through serial communication inside the device? Try MiiNePort’s friendly SCM (Serial Command Mode).
AutoCFG : Tired of spending a large amount of time and effort setting up a network? Not anymore! The MiiNePort’s AutoCFG makes auto-configuration during manufacturing possible.
MCSC : Ever wanted your device to be a server and client at the same time? The MiiNePort’s MCSC (Multi-channel Serial Communication) provides dual connections and dual channels for multi-task applications!.
Moxa’s NetEZ technology makes the MiiNePort E1 the world’s most user-friendly embedded device server by promising ease-of-use with minimal integration work required.
